I am just so sick of selfish people thinking that they're magical unicorns that won't get COVID or infect other with it. COVID-19 and the other events of have laid bare a lot of hypocrisy. Here are a few. Feel free to add more.
SNOWFLAKES: Holee shit this one is so damned obvious. If you're protesting not being able to go to Applebee's or get your nails done, you can never ever call anyone a snowflake again.
SELF-CONTROL: As a fat person I have had my self-control and willpower questioned for most of my life, despite doing other stuff that obviously takes lots of energy and willpower, like getting a STEM PhD. If you can't deal with wearing a mask/not having happy hour at Applebee's/not doing non-essential travel/getting take out instead of dining in, you have no right to say diddly-squat about anyone's self-control. Likewise, you just lost the right to pretend you were just worried about my health, not that I ever believed that one.
EXERCISE: No, the risk of not going to the gym is not higher than the risk of COVID, even if it's coupled with a year of eating too much. STFU.
PRO-LIFE: If you are anti-abortion and aren't masking up/social distancing/doing everything you can to prevent spreading COVID/etc now, shut the fuck up about the sanctity of life. The same goes for any churches pushing to re-open for in-person services.
KIDS' EDUCATION AND MENTAL HEALTH: Look, this is hard on everyone, but if you don't give a shit about guns in school, you don't get to get up on a soapbox about how we need to reopen in-person K12 schools now.
